After a riveting NBA trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers were back in action at home at Crypto.com against the Golden State Warriors.
Both the Lakers and Warriors made trades for superstars at the deadline, but Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler were ruled out for the contest. Because of the players gone in the respective trades, both teams came into the matchup shorthanded.
The first half was dominated by Los Angeles who went up by as many as 26 points, but Golden State battled back in the second half to get within striking distance of stealing the game.
